"日前接獲一通操內地口音男子的恐嚇電話,對方表示因為兄弟殺人,需要跑路費,勒贖二萬加元"
how about asking him back for 10X that amt of $, saying u can finish off his enemies for him, then he doesn't need to run?
proves those 騙子 are getting smarter la.. from just plainly "do u speak chinese?" to saying they are from SUCCESS. who knows if they are already learning english and will use that when they are ready.
I would answer: "Oh I'm sorry, cuz I trust no one and I have no bank account at all, I just keep my money under my bed. How about give me the cheque/money face to face?"
if they speak chinese, i tell them that i can't speak english
if they speak english, usually i just tell them politely that i'm in a hurry and need to go out... then hang up.
